Bettman visiting Winnipeg to meet with corporate sponsors, host a fireside chat with fans amid declining season ticket sales

Garbage. He is there to try to scare fans into buying tickets.

“Let’s be clear about something: I believe this is a strong NHL market. It will adjust,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said about the Winnipeg Jets' lower attendance rates.

Yeah, man. Terrifying. What a jerk.

From we need more support from corporate a year ago...to we never lost money.

Only lost money on hockey operations. Overall operations, they're fine. Better ticket sales needed for the ability to spend and keep the team competitive.

That is probably the best article I've read in terms of shining a light on the state of TNSE's business, and the insight is coming straight from the horse's mouth.

The bottom line is that the team turns a profit every year, the owners are reinvesting the profits into the arena and surrounding area and the franchise's value is appreciating rapidly. The situation is healthy to say the least.

Our attendance issues were/ are a product of our own zest to purchase season tickets when the team arrived. Everyone and their dog was around their pc’s waiting to hit the purchase button. Sold all 13,000 plus tickets in 11 minutes and then had a decade long wait list.
That sounds awesome yes?
The problem turned out that all those tickets were bought by “ Joe Fan”. Business never had the chance.
Now the wait list has dried up and we see that we need businesses to step up and take those 4K tickets now.
The Jets are fine this will be rectified

As a Jets fan and a Winnipegger I’m not even remotely worried about this. They’re not going anywhere.
